    Neck work

    It might be a rash decision but I've chosen to go for a neck thru design. Here we see the laminated neck in formation and also the tiger myrtle piece for the fingerboard.

    Oooooooh snap! This build just took a turn, will the neck core form the inner border of the chambers?
    I have to tell you Igor is losing his S$%t over that Tiger Myrtle, not to mention the sassafras skins for the front.

    So many questions!
    what are your neck laminates?
    Are you scarf jointing for the headstock or doing an offset F style head?
    Will it need a good home when you’ve finished it?
    Can you PM me a source for the sassafras?
    Will your Timber source accept used body parts as payment? (Asking for Igor)

    Enquiring minds need to know!
